At 5'9 Im comfortable with my average height. Sure, had I been taller Id probably be perceived differently but these are things that cannot be changed (till now). Since I'm comfortable with my height I rarely think about this but I'm sure shorter guys may have it more on their mind than I do. Im genuinely curious though, with extending the length of the femur, wouldn't that make the body change proportions? Aren't taller folks consisting of larger/longer bones overall? How would that affect center of mass and balance? I found that confidence can overcome a few inches in height and good communication skills can overcome the advantage taller people have, well, except for dating stuff...

A lot of those statistics about men being the taller ones in most pairings come from the fact that men are taller than women on average.

  But that alone doesn’t explain the full gap. https://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2019/11/06/man-woman-couple-height-updated/ https://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2019/11/06/man-woman-...

  This statistic can be true while at the same time, women prefer tall men. To confirm the latter, it is not enough to look at who is the taller in most pairings.

It is a little annoying to be elbowed in the nose accidentally by my Dutch customers, though. So, I created a joke. “Why are people in the Netherlands so tall?” “Genetic pressure. They have had occasional dike failures over the centuries, and the short ones drowned.”
